Advocate and business
support is key to progress
Educators and policymakers have contributed tirelessly to
Kentucky’s efforts to build a world-class education. But they
have not tackled the problems alone.
The state’s advocacy and business communities have
been consistent partners in this work – sometimes
pointing out shortcomings and calling for change,
sometimes conveying messages of celebration, but
always remaining steadfast in their support of Kentucky’s
schools.
Through the passage of the Kentucky Education Reform
Act, the adoption of tougher academic standards, the
reforms of postsecondary education and other key
developments, business and community leaders have
been consistent in their outspoken advocacy on behalf of
Kentucky’s future and the high-quality education system
essential to building it.
